It is the wiggle room that allows an ELS cluster to be
found in the Torah and it's the same wiggle room that allows an ELS cluster to be
found in other texts. But the very nature of wiggle room is that you have freedom in
choices so the precise alternatives necessary to get the cluster in one text will be different
from the alternatives needed to find something in another text. The clusters in the two
texts will be similar but not the same. The quality of the clusters will be
largely determined by the creativity of the searcher rather than by anything intrinsic to
the underlying text.
